Two Categories, One Compliance Program

Most facilities need both regulatory signage and accessible signage to meet their full compliance obligations. We produce both as part of a single, coordinated program.

Regulatory & Safety Signs

Regulatory signs communicate facility rules, safety protocols, and restricted access requirements. Common types we produce include exit and fire exit signs, emergency evacuation signs, no smoking signs, fire extinguisher location signs, and safety directional signs. These are available for indoor and outdoor use, covering everything from stairwells and parking areas to construction sites and production floors.

Custom Accessible Signage

ADA-compliant signs for permanent room identification are required across most commercial facilities. Restrooms, offices, conference rooms, stairwells, elevators, and accessible entrances all need tactile signage with raised characters and Grade 2 Braille, the contracted form of Braille used in most signage applications. Technical requirements include a sans-serif font, high-contrast color combinations, a non-glare finish, and mounting between 48 and 60 inches above the finished floor on the latch side of the door.

Compliance doesn’t mean sacrificing your brand identity. We can incorporate your brand colors and corporate typeface into ADA signage designs, working within required contrast ratios, and produce signs in acrylic, metallic finishes, and a wide range of materials to match your interior aesthetic.

What Working with Us Looks Like

We handle content development, graphic design, fabrication, project management, and installation services under one roof, so your project moves from approved design to installed sign without you juggling multiple vendors.

Common compliance failures we help businesses avoid include incorrect mounting height, insufficient color contrast, decorative or serif fonts, missing tactile elements, and signs mounted on the door itself rather than the adjacent latch-side wall. Bulk orders include compliance verification before production begins, and online ordering is available for any quantity.

Our customers rate us 4.9 stars on Google, with reviewers consistently citing speed, professionalism, and clear communication throughout their projects.

Texas Compliance: ADA & TAS Both Apply

Dallas-area businesses operate under two overlapping sets of requirements. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 sets federal baseline standards for accessible signage. The Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under Texas Government Code Chapter 469, add state-level scoping requirements on top of those federal rules.

The current enforceable version is the 2012 TAS, which aligns closely with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design but includes Texas-specific provisions. TDLR enforces TAS through plan review and final inspection for new construction, renovation, and tenant improvement projects. A project that doesn’t meet TAS can face delays, required retrofitting, fines, or barriers to receiving a certificate of occupancy.

One detail worth knowing: facilities with signs that were compliant at the time of original installation may still be out of compliance today if standards have been updated since. A recent renovation or rebrand is a practical trigger to review whether existing signage still meets current TAS and ADA requirements before your next inspection.

ADA Sign Types & Where They’re Required

Not every sign in a building requires tactile elements and Grade 2 Braille. The requirement applies specifically to permanent room identification signage and certain life-safety signs, not to temporary displays or promotional graphics. Understanding which signs are required helps a business owner identify where gaps exist.

The three functional categories of ADA signage:

Identification signage marks permanent spaces: restrooms, individual offices, conference rooms, service areas, stairwells, elevators, and floor-level identification. These require raised characters and Grade 2 Braille.
Directional signage guides visitors through a facility. These signs don’t require tactile elements but must meet contrast and visual accessibility standards.
Informational signage covers required safety and access details, including accessible entrance identification and fire exit information.

Integrated wayfinding systems can bring all three categories together into a cohesive interior sign program that is both compliant and visually consistent with your brand.

Facility Types in the Dallas Area That Commonly Need Compliance Signage

ADA signage obligations apply broadly across commercial facility types. Property managers, architects, general contractors, and business owners handling new construction or tenant improvements are among the most frequent buyers of full accessible signage packages.

Facility types we regularly serve include:

Commercial office buildings and multi-tenant business parks
Medical offices, clinics, and healthcare facilities
Retail stores and restaurants
Educational institutions and schools
Hotels and hospitality venues
Government buildings and public facilities

If your facility is undergoing a rebrand, interior renovation, or expansion, treat the project as an opportunity to review existing signage for current TAS and ADA compliance before your next inspection. We work with businesses of all sizes, from small businesses and non-profits to large corporations and institutional clients across Dallas and Southwest Dallas.
